MobileOne announced a good set of 2Q07 results. Revenue came in at S$199.8m (+1.7% QoQ, 4.0% YoY) with net profit for the quarter at S$40.6m (-19.0% QoQ, +10.0% YoY). The poorer sequential bottom-line performance is due to high base in 1Q07 due to tax adjustments. Excluding this one-off effect (i.e. at pre-tax level), M1 would have seen its profitability boosted +10.0% QoQ and 7.2% YoY. Better operating performance appears to be driven by revenue growth (specifically from postpaid segment) and lower operating expenses. This is clearly reflected in the EBITDA improvement of +7.5% QoQ and 6.0% YoY to S$81.9m. Finally M1 is now guiding for single-digit earnings growth and is probably due to less competition arising from the delay in the implementation of mobile number portability. This in turn should help reduce acquisition cost and retention costs. For 1H07, M1 has declared an interim dividend of 2.5 cents plus a capital reduction of 4.6 cents. The total payout of 7.1 cents translates to a payout ratio of 70% and a yield of 3.3%. We maintain our S$2.33 fair value and our HOLD rating. From OCBC.
Both Vickers and OCBC calling for HOLD because current price is the fair value.
